About the race
Located on Governors Island in New York Harbor, the NYCRUNS Squirrel Stampede 10K offers a two-loop, USATF-certified course around the island that showcases views of the harbor and Manhattan. The island course is described as NYC’s best-kept secret, with a festival area near the ferry terminal where runners pick up bibs, shirts, and post-race snacks (no nuts). A unique feature is ferry access included with race entry for participants and guests.
The event emphasizes organization: pace-based corrals (AA-F), clear-bag gear check, on-course hydration, bathrooms, and a post-race spread including fruit and bagels. Awards go to top finishers; photos available afterward. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
